In-wheel motor technology offers a fresh solution by providing power that can meet and exceed internal combustion engine alternatives in a package that does not invade chassis, passenger or cargo space. At the same time in-wheel motors reduce vehicle part count, complexity and cost. Elaphe, a Tier One supplier to the auto industry, is a leader in designing in-wheel motors and has products for everything from small passenger cars to SUVs and light trucks. The L1500 is capable of an astonishing 1500 Newton-meters of torque and 110 kW of power — equivalent to 147 horsepower.
